? SPIDER'S CHAPS. By WOLOOTT LE OLEAB BE1BD. ICopyiight. Uta. by American Press Aaso elation.) CHAPTER IV W WHCB 1 HR CATTLE ARB STAXPBDKD BY LOKKN Art OABO. I bad not an idea as to Spider's prob ?bio whereabouts. The desert was so eery large and Spider so very minute a ?peck upon ita surface that it struck me after we bad started out that nor qneft w/ae a singularly bopele?* one. Lee. however, differed from me. "I don't tee no trouble in knowin where ter go." be said. "Pug Hollia, he'll be pretty sure tcr strike to'rds Agoa Call* nte. an Spider'U sure be in bla wake.

Then, after a moment, they both wheeled and galloped buck to tbe where the third man seemed anx ansjaly to await them. Evidently the tbrte were uneasy about something. ?'They think somebody it t-follrrin *tm." said Lee softly in my ear They wart not far from tbe trntb if they did think so.

Once we're on the level, then we'll rnsh 'em." Onr horses picked their own way down the dark, bowlder strewn hillside. When we reached the plain, there was an instant's pause. Lee drew his rifle from the becket that rested under his left knee "Ready?" he asked. I was quite ns ready as I was likely to be, but he wait? ed for no reply. Dropping the reins on the neck of his horse, he sent home his spurs and dashed out into tbe moon? light, yelling like an Indian and pump? ing his repeating ritlo with both hands as he went. As wo came Spider swerv? ed his horse and drew his pistol. Then be recognized us. ' Hooray I" he yelled at the top of his shrill voice. "I knowed you'd come. We got em! Whcopl Yip. yip, yip! Come on! I ben a-follerin them thieves all night.' Lee and I were riding side by side. Spider wal some little distance ahead, shouting these remarks over bis shoul? der. He intended to stay ahead, too, for, ride as we might, neither Lee nor 1 oould catch him. Tbe three men who were driving our cattle did not wait for ns. Firing an ineffective shot or two tbey turned to one side and vanished in tbe shadow of the hill. Spider turned bia horse in pursuit. "Come back I" called Lee. "Come back here, you kid I You crazy?" Spider paid no attention whatever, but rode on at the best speed his pony could show "Come back. I sny. or I'll rope your pony an throw him I" shouted Lee again "Have ter get witnin cast first, an you can't do it. "returned Spider de* fiantly What he said was quite true. We were losing ground at every stride We were well into the shadow now. "Come backt" I called in despair. "Will you obey orders or not ?" Spider atopred instantly. ' Course, if it's an order it goes," he ?aid. "But what d'you wanter pull up , fer when we jus' got er chance tor get them thieves?" Lee had no words to waste at the time He took Spider by tbe collar of hfs flannel shirt, lifted him half out of his saddle, shook him soundly, cuffed his ears and then re? turned him. with a thump, to his seat. "S'pose you wanter get er hole shot in your fool little hide jus' becauea yon think it's smart," said Lee, when be had completed these operations to his satisfaction "You couldn't tell where tL em rustlers was a-waitin fer you in tbe dark there. Now get them cattle movin fer home er I'll take off yer cbapa an spank you with 'em." To my great surprise Spider took these correc? tions and cantered away to obey his orders without a word. But, then. Lee bad alwaya been very good to Spider. "S'pose I reelly onghter not a shook 'im to," the cowboy went on regretful' ly when Spider bad left "I couldn't let 'im get so uppity, though. Thar wcnldn' be no hvin in the same camp with 'im. But he scared me. that's a fact. That's re Uy why I thumped 'im. I'd be rrighty sorry if that kid got hart, an ho was fixin ter get hurt tbe very best he knowed. Here he comes, now, grinnin so the grin rans ever his fac? all down bis back." "Them rustlers was a-waitin fe. me. was they?" called Spider as soon as he got close enough. "Well, jus' yon look over there once." He pointed to a moonlit space between two deep shad? ows nearly a mile away. Three men on horseback were crossing it rapidly, going in the direction of AgnaCaliente. There was no doubt about their being the thieves. No other men would have been likely to be in that deserted place at such a time. or. if they bad been, they would have shown themselves be? fore when Spider was firing distress si gnu* . ''Do yon suppose thM those fellows will go after mere men ni.d then come down on us?" I asked Lee as Snider re turned to his work. "Nope,"(replied the cowboy "They can't afford ter take no chances, er they'd 'a' staid an fought it out It ain't no joke fer a mun ter get ketched liftin cattle ronn here. Yon c'n raise the conntry ter go after 'im. an if he's caught he don't get ter jail alive. Them fallen was gonter take these here cattle across the line into Mexico?it ain't more'n 20 miles from Agua Caliente? an s' II 'em there. Better get them cat? tle over the divide an movin to'rds home, though, ns soon as we kin It's mos' sun np uow. " Tne cuttle, tired and thirsty, started willingly enough toward our enmp by the river, but they moved very slowly, after the manner of cattle We had our bands full in hurrying them, all three of ns. As Lee bad said, it was nearly sun? rise The cattle had hardly crossed the low ridge when the summits of the bills were reddened by tbe first beams of tbe sun that shot up over tbe level edge of the desert This reminded me of the foreman'a threat concerning AgnaCaliente and its inhabitants 1 had forgotten it until then "How far do yen think we are from tbe camp?" 1 aaked Lee. i "Our camp? Ten er leven mi lea More maybe." be replied. "We can't get there in an hour, then. " I said. "Perhapa I bad better send Spider on ahead to tell them we're all right" Lee objected. He could aee no reason wby we should send auy one away There were only three of us aa it was. and there was plenty of work to keep ua all busy. Evidently be had not heard what the foreman bad aaid. ao I told him It did not seem to alter his opin? ion, however Spider threw up his hat and sbonted. Tbe bat fell beyond his reach, but he picked it np without dis? mounting and evinced a decided in? clination to depart immediately for Agna Caliente 1 sternly restrained him "So the foreman said he'd go over to Agua Caliente for a visit, did lie 1 Well, unless we meet np with the boys as they go, them thieves what holds forth in the towu will pee an awful lot er fun by two hours from now When the fore? man says he'll do a thing, that's the thing be does every trip," commented |ft#, rriantafr delightedly. "But we're sure to meet up with the boys?we're right in their track." he added, with a reassuring nod. The foreman was even better than his word Hardly had Lee finished speaking when a cloud of dnst that had been rapidly moving over the desert proved to he the wake that followed our men. Except Hollis. every one of them was there, even the Ballet Girl. He had screwed the spike that decorated the end of his artificial leg into the foot rest of his wocden stirrup and was rid? ing straight and Wtll, his long gray beard blowing back over his shoulder Th? heavy pistol that always hung in his belt was re-enforced by another, and acvon his Middle a rifle was balanced. While the boys noisily greeted Lee and Spider the foreman rode directly up to me and without preamble began to explain the suddenness of his appear ance. "Yon see, 1 didn" say 1 wonldn start off before the time I set. " said be. "1 didn' mean ter, though, when yon left but the boys they got dead anxious Ther's been a lot er them rustlers f'om Agna Calient* bangin ronn the place. an we all thought yon mighter stacked np agains'some trouble. So the boys got kinder scared up for yen. Why. even the Bally Gnrl, he starts out an gives me fits fer lettin you go without the lot of us back er you. He saddles up a horse an gets out his guns au swears he'll lead the boys himself if I don't start out. He's dead game, the Bally Gnrl is, an I tell you these boys is a mighty'good lot er boys." "But I told you particularly that you weren't to attack Agna Caliente." said 1 reproachfully. "You weren't ;{oing to do that, were you?" The foreman looked somewhat dubious. "Dnnno," he said candidly. "The boys wan kinder mad. an if we hadn't found yon I reckon they'd 'a' give Agna Caliente a little shake np. whether I'd let 'em or not. Min'." he added, with his usual scrupulous regard for the truth, "I didn't eay I wouldn't or let 'em. Where's Hollis?" I had no idea where Hollis was; was about to ask the same question myself The foreman went about among the men, making inquiries, but no one had seen him or apparently felt mnch trou? bled about his absence. "He drawed all the pay that was a-comin to him. didn't he?" asked one of the men. "Well, then, he jus' took an skipped over to Lorena an his gang, where he belongs; that's all." That seemed to be the general opinion, and there was a decided feeling of relief that he was no longer with us. The cattle moved along merrily, each man doing his best to hurry them. Never before had I imagined that a wooden leg could be used to advantage in driving cattle; but. when wielded by the Ballet Girl. I found that it tad a wonderfully accelerating effect. When at last we reached the camp, I was thoroughly tired ont. My ankle and wrist ached, and there was nothing I desired so much as rest. I started at once for my tent, and as I did so Spider rode np to the foreman and asked what order* there were for the day. "Orders? Why. you little fool, yoar pony can't hardly stand on his legs, an yon'll tumble outer the saddle in a lit? tle more," replied the foreman, with a gruffness aserrmed to cover his approba? tion of the boy. "Go'n turn your pony ont an turn yourself in Quick, now. 'fore I make yon." Tumbling on my cot. dressed as 1 was, I slept for u nrs. On waking I be? came conscious o. he rumble of distant thunder. The brilliant sunlight, that usually lit the desert-until it was near? ly as dazzling as snow, had disappeared, leaving the sand cold and gray. 1 thought that dusk had fallen, but my watch told me that the middle of the afternoon had barely passed "Reckon we're a-gonter have a little weather." remarked the foreman, who met me as I cameout of my tent. ".Ins' look over yander. " He pointed to the eastern horizon, whero masses of dark clouds, veined here and there with red lightning flashes, were piling them? selves up into the sky. From the north another storm was rising, even more rapidly Except the foreman and the Ballet Girl, none of our men were in the camp Some distance away the cattle, that had hem brought in the night be? fore and had failed to wander oft to a sufficient dittaBCf during the absence of the men. were gathered on the mesa, guarded by Spider and Lee. who were riding around them at a steady lope in opposite directions The two thunder clouds rose higher and higher, spread? ing around the horizon and narrowing the strip of blue sky that still shone be? tween them. 1 "It ain't common ter have one thun? derstorm round here, let alone two,' observed the foreman. "The cattle feels the thunder, too?they're gettin oneasy Reckon 1 better go'n give the boys a ban. " The cattle were uneasy, I could see that from where I was standing. They tossed their heads and lowed and moved here and there among themselves. It grew darker each moment and the cat? tle became more restless. Sometimes, when cattle are in this condition, the sound of the human voice will tend to qniet them. Spider began to sing: I "Ther wan an ol' geezer. An he had a wooden leg, But he never had terbanker, So tcrback he had ter beg. Another ol' geezer | Waa aa ily a* er fox, | An he alw's had terbacker In his ol' terhackur box.' Spider's voice rang shrill and clear over the desert, his song measured by the regular hoof beats of his horse. He passed back of the herd, and only an occasional note above the lowing and muttering of the cattle could one hear. The air bad been Mill, bnt now little puffs of wind began to arise, and ghost? ly little whirlwinds careered ovtr the desert The strip of bine sky was re ' dnced to a mere thread; the darkness became thicker: the herd was au indis tine! mass, except when the lightning ?bowed every tiling in an instantaneous photograph The foreman, riding at full speed, had nearly reached the herd, but, as shown by the lightning, his A dozen shadowy h?rnernen charged down On the herd. horse seemed to be standing stilTin an ungainly pose on the desert. Then ev? erything was darker than before. Once more Spider came to the front of the herd. He had increased the speed of his horse, for in quicker time than before his song went on i "Jus' stop drinkin whisky An save up yer rocks. Then you'll olw's have terbacker In yer ol' terbacker"? The two storms met. For a moment there was blinding light, followed by a crash that split the sky. A dozen shad cwy horsemen, that seemed to rise out of the ground, charged down on the herd, shouting and waving blankets. I saw six Hashes from the foreman's pistol. The Ballet Girl, who was stand- i ing near me. lurched toward a rifle that leaned against the wheel cf the cook wagon. The hf.rd tossed and surged like boil? ing water. Spider darted forward to try and hold it. For a moment it hesi? tated. Then, with a roar of galloping hoofs, it broke and rushed madly away The thieves had stampeded the cattle. The lightning gave one more vivid flash and ceased. The crash of thunder that followed seemed to tear open the sky. for the rain descended like a liquid curtain that concealed everything. 7y [to re continued.] RAILROADS AGAINST BILL. Opposed to Proposed Legislation In <Jrceiie-<?aynor Case. Washington, May 5.?The house ju? diciary committee gave a hearing on the bill introduced at the suggestion of At? torney General Griggs to provide for the removal to the proper district for trial of persons, indicted for offenses against the United States.

The indicted persons were ar? rested in New York, but Judge Brown refused to allow their extradition to Georgia on technical grounds pertaining to procedure in New York. Colonel W. W. Daily was the first speaker. He said he represented certain railroad corporations and appeared to call the at? tention of the committee to some dan? gers involved in the passage of the bill. Such a bill applied to civil as well as to criminal case might, lie contended, work great hardship, especially to railroad and other corporation oilieials. If indicted outside the district in which they were resident they could be arrested auu dis? graced, though innocent. CONSIDINE IS DISMISSED. It Is Xow Possible to Pull Off the Wolcott-Smlth Fight.
